A good PRO does not have to be a novelist. Their main motivation is to get their club mentioned regularly on the local radio, newspapers, church newsletter etc. A brief text or email with the relevant details will get the message across. It also helps in attracting new players and recognising the efforts of the present members.

Radio

All Clubs are actively encouraged to promote their club and Clare ladies football in general by:

Sending in a notice of an upcoming game or other event by text or email

Apart from providing current information for today's interested people, news paper reports are a fantastic way to preserve club history. Thanks to the early match reporters, there are match reports preserved in the Clare County Library newspaper files since before 1900. All these records are available for access by future club officers, researchers and descendants of today's players.

Give all relevant information such as teams, scorers, referee and venue

Use players Christian names and surnames

Make sure your report is balanced - remember there are 2 teams

Remember your Ws - who, what, where, when

Keep paragraphs in sequence

Avoid flowery - the facts are more important

Mention Your Sponsor - They will be more inclined to renew their sponsorship next year if they hear / see their name mentioned regularly.

Submit a Team Photo Whenever You Can

The Ladies Gaelic Football Association has adopted a policy in relation to the use of images of players on our website and in other publications. This policy does not seek to eliminate the use of photography or video but rather to minimise the risk and threats that inappropriate use of photographs or the recording of images may pose directly or indirectly, particularly for young people. Remember having photographic and filming guidelines is not about preventing parents from taking pictures, but rather to ensure that only those who have a right to take photographs do so. - Code Of Ethics & Good Practice LGFA
